Finally taking the plunge Rob? Give me shout.

yes sir i would love to do a ESB boba but it will be part by part...i will hit you up here soon bro!

 

[cojake]

As expensive as it to do a Boba, it will defenitely be part by part. :rolleyes I would be thrilled to lend a helping hand. Just make sure to research and ask questions before you buy stuff. Trust me. I bought several items that I thought looked great only to buy them again when I learned otherwise. :angry See you Saturday night?

where to start?

cut out the dent and see if you can get a sharper dent casting from someone.... cut out the back slots and put a decent mq-1 casting in...... get an aluminum rangefinder stalk from someone (BKBT maybe?) chop out the vinyl/plastic visor and get a t-visor from somewhere...correct the shape by either securing the visor or putting in a brace at the bottom of the helmet...

that should be decent enough to get it up to par...then just paint it up


hope that helps/made sense

You don't have to cut the key holes out (Back Slots) Buuuut.. It'll help Ventilate!

Combat, I also have a DP96 and am abit unsure as to what you mean by 'cut out the dent' and 'correct the shape'?

Could you elaborate please?
Mike.

For dent, try to replace it with a better replication made by someone else because the original doesn't have the sharpest detail.

And do this to correct the shape..
